Northern expedition...... Northern expedition......

This matter has been discussed for a long time, and now that the winter snow has begun to thaw, and the armies from all over the country have begun to gradually converge towards Yecheng, the atmosphere of the big battle has gradually become thicker, which has made the air feel a little colder.

"The vanguard has set off, led by Le Jin, and now it has penetrated deep into the border of Youzhou, and has launched a position there." While Guo Jia was talking, Yuan Yun was looking out at a snowfield outside the city in front of him.

After trembling slightly, Yuan Yuncai turned to this Guo Jia and smiled: "General Lejin is just going to perform, and he can't fight, there's nothing to see, I am very concerned about the two channels of Pinglu and Quanzhou built by Dong Zhaodu, and they should be able to open the ship now, right?" ”

Guo Jia's face suddenly became obscene when he heard this, and he said mockingly: "Yuan Hou is thinking about your beautiful senior sister Diao Chan, right?" ”

Yuan Yun's face was stunned, and he became a little unnatural in an instant, and finally he could only shake his head and say: "The military advisor misunderstood, I ...... with my senior sister."

"Hugh wants to deny it, even if Yuan Hou is still in the clouds, but I'm afraid that Diao Chan is ......"

"Master Guo Jiajun, can we get down to business!"

Guo Jia finally stopped laughing, but Yuan Yun felt a pain in his buttocks, and he didn't know who was spreading rumors around recently, saying that he Yuan Yun had a personal relationship with Diao Chan, so as soon as the two canals leading to the sea were opened this time, Diao Chan was immediately appointed as a military force on the water, and also joined the army of the Northern Expedition, and it was also very important.

Seeing another army lined up along the city gate into a long snake, heading towards the north, Yuan Yun frowned slightly and asked, "Why did Cao Ren's deployment set off so early?" Shouldn't they be following Cao Sikong? ”

Guo Jia squinted at the city gate, and then replied: "Cao Ren can't sit still, so I ask for orders to go out first, after all, many generals in Yecheng don't want to see him, instead of looking at him every day, I will choose to go out first." ”

Yuan Yun sighed, this time Cao Ren came to the north almost nothing, originally planned to buy the land here, but not only was the gold seized, but the idea of annexing the land with the big clans of the four northern states was also taken by Yuan Yun and others because of many water conservancy systems, and finally went bankrupt, and now Cao Ren stays in Yecheng It really makes no sense.

"Cao Ren is going to go to the front line to set it up first, and then wait for Ben Hou to take the bait." Yuan Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth and muttered contemptuously.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Yuan Hou should be careful on the Northern Expedition this time, Cao Ren may not be as good as you in business management, but when it comes to the way of battle formation, he is a good hand, especially his command is elusive, even if he suddenly makes 10,000 people disappear on the northern plain, it is not surprising." ”

The contempt on Yuan Yun's face remained unabated, and he replied lightly: "Can Guo Jiajun tell me that if my troops are suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy on the plains, can we wipe out all the other party?" ”

A trace of astonishment flashed across Guo Jia's face, and finally he sighed: "If Cao Ren doesn't know the general situation, Yuan Hou doesn't have to keep his hands, it's just that the big war is ahead, and we are fighting in the nest like this, I'm afraid it will not be good for the outcome." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, suddenly laughed, and said: "The military division is worry-free, without Cao Ren in this Northern Expedition, I am afraid that the hope of victory will be greater, and annihilation or something, I am to say, if you really want to move the real character, I am reluctant to waste so much labor." ”

Guo Jia snorted, then shook his head and said: "No matter what, Yuan Hou should still focus on the war, although the gunpowder army is powerful, but it is not good at competing with those fast Karasuma cavalry on the grassland, the opponent's maneuver is too exaggerated, and the gunpowder army only has two legs, which is very passive, so Cao Ren's soldiers are very important." ”

"Yes." Yuan Yun nodded again, and in an instant, he pointed to the soldiers under the city and said, "As long as Cao Ren doesn't come to provoke Ben Hou, I will naturally not deal with him, but does the military advisor think this is possible?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a while, and finally said resolutely: "I will think about the lord's petition, and then go to General Cao Ren's army as a counselor, so it should be much safer." ”

Yuan Yun was taken aback when he heard Guo Jia say this, and immediately shook his hand and said: "Don't be like this, military advisor, you go to Cao Ren's side, it's better to come to me, but it's best for you to stay by Cao Sikong's side." ”

Guo Jia saw that Yuan Yun's expression was a little panicked, and he suddenly became suspicious, this kind of panicked expression was rarely seen on Yuan Yun's face, so he immediately asked: "Yuan Hou seems to be worried about me Guo Jia, I don't know why?" ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips and said in his heart: You have to lose your life this time on the side of Karasuma, Lao Tzu doesn't know how much preparation he has made for your little life, just a few cars of medicinal materials have been prepared, and the medical camp has also specially divided a few people to study typhoid fever and other diseases, so naturally he wants to tie you Guo Jia firmly to his side.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun smiled and said: "I dreamed last night, I dreamed that the military advisor was in poor health, so I was worried that you would have any accidents, or let you be safer under my nose, after all, I also have the name of a miracle doctor." ”

Guo Jia was stunned, he only felt that Yuan Yun's statement was very funny, but in an instant, his heart trembled, because Yuan Yun's prediction was bizarre and accurate, since he said so, I was afraid that he would really have some catastrophe, so he became even more suspicious when he thought about it, and immediately began to think about whether to ask Yuan Yun about it, his fairy-like unpredictable prophets are really amazing.

Yuan Yun looked at Guo Jia's strange gaze, only felt uncomfortable being looked at, and quickly opened the topic and said: "Guo Jiajun looks at me like this, do you think that I am suave and handsome, but I am not good at manhood, and you should stay away from me for half a step." ”

"Fuck off!"

……

Zhang Liao has been very busy recently, in addition to deploying logistics and supplies, he also needs to integrate the manpower of the troops, in the past, there were always civilian officials such as Jia Xu to help, but now he is the only one, and Yuan Yun is mostly attending various meetings, and he has no time to take care of these at all.

Looking at the soldiers who were still busy in the camp, Yuan Yun only felt a pain in his back, and those mountains of materials were the biggest problem, and these rich materials were sent by other troops, in order to thank the Gunpowder Army for helping them train medical soldiers.

It's just that there are really too many of these materials, just the grain and grass are piled up in the Chinese army camp, and not only that, but the most precious thing is that there are all kinds of livestock.

Looking at the enclosed livestock, Yuan Yun was a little strange, because in addition to sheep, there were hundreds of cattle that were only produced in Qinghai and Tibet, but Yuan Yun didn't have any of the war horses he wanted the most.

Pouting, Yuan Yun summoned two cooks in the army, and then pointed to the dozens of yaks and said, "Come out of the circle at both ends, Ben Hou will fight his teeth tonight." ”

Zhang Liao was coming back from the school at the moment, and was immediately stunned when he heard Yuan Yun say this, and then said with some embarrassment: "The imperial court strictly ordered the killing of cattle, Yuan Hou is probably inappropriate like this, then Chen Qun wants to catch us every day." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled: "The imperial court restricts the killing of cultivated cattle, and yaks can only be used for eating, so you don't have to care." ”

Zhang Liao was still embarrassed, and said: "But the laws of the imperial court are not written so clearly, I am afraid that they will be used by villains." ”

Yuan Yun shook his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Make a bowl of beef noodles for General Zhang tonight, this is definitely the best meal, it would be a pity to miss it, as for the laws of the imperial court, I will consider it, and I can rest assured." ”

Although Zhang Liao was still a little uneasy, the saliva at the root of his tongue could no longer be suppressed, and in the end he could only remain silent and not express any opinions.

Yuan Yun is also drooling in his mouth now, after all, there is too much such thing as beef, even nobles can rarely eat it.

"Prepare twenty more bowls of this beef noodle, and I think it's good after eating, so let's have ten more bowls." Xu Chu's voice had just arrived, and Yuan Yun began to frown before he could reply.

Hurriedly giving Xu Chu a salute, Yuan Yuncai turned his smile and said: "Uncle Xu Chu likes it, then make a few more bowls, but I have a doubt, how can there be such an animal as a yak here?" ”

Xu Chu smiled and said: "Some were originally Qiang, some were tribute, and some were snatched by the generals from the grassland, and the lord saw that there were a lot of them, so he distributed them to the generals below, and as a result, the rotten laws of the imperial court made no one dare to kill and eat meat, and these cattle could not plow the fields, so they could only be raised for nothing, and these generals sent yaks to the gunpowder army, probably thinking that they had gotten rid of a big trouble." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled in an instant: "How many more such cattle are there?" Why don't you send them all to me, how about I exchange them for sheep? Absolutely fair trade, two sheep for one yak. ”

Xu Chu frowned and said: "We have a few thousand yaks in this yak, but isn't it a loss for you kid, if there are not many yaks, it doesn't matter if you eat a few heads, but there are too many of them, if you kid dares to kill them for meat, he will definitely be impeached, so be careful." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, immediately stretched out two fingers, and then said: "Give Uncle Xu Chu two dry shares, this is definitely a big business." ”

Xu Chu scratched the back of his head and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he happily agreed, because he immediately thought that Yuan Yun would never make a loss-making deal, and if he hadn't thought it through, he would definitely not make a move.

After getting Xu Chu done, Yuan Yun entered the kitchen, and soon several murderers led by Xu Chu began to slaughter cattle at the door, and when a few balls of noodles were raised, the cut beef had already been served.

Yuan Yun had already sorted out the recipe at this moment, and then began to cook the meat, the ingredients were basically complete, the only thing missing was the chili pepper, and in the end he could only continue to replace it with dogwood.

By the time a pot of braised beef was basically formed, two hours had passed, and just when Xu Chu was scolding his mother, a bowl of steaming beef noodles was served.

Xu Chu has always been an anxious person, he began to swallow before he was cold, no one could know why he didn't feel hot, in short, when Zhang Liao and Yuan Yun had eaten one bowl, Xu Chu had already dried up five bowls, and was still slapping the table urging the cook to hurry up.

When Xu Chu finally held his stomach and began to eat outside the door, Yuan Qi was not idle, but walked into the kitchen and began to study the production of steak.

Looking at the steaks that were divided by the cook, Yuan Yun nodded, and when he understood this Western food, he would go to serve his father-in-law Cao Cao tomorrow, and the beef business would depend on this performance.

"By the way, Aunt Bian must also be invited, but in this way, it is estimated that two more shares will be divided, which is unlucky." Yuan Yun shook his head after muttering, and then turned the inside of the frying pan over, and instantly pierced out, and the aroma of beef wafted out.
